Tried creating a podcast overview using NotebookLM, result not useful

 This was my second attempt to use NotebookLM to generate a podcast from an uploaded document. I was thinking  of using the output for Flipped Learning  for ENLT6704, S4

I uploaded a Word document, which explained the relationship between metacognition and metalinguistic awareness (AI-generated). 

The first rendition was 18 minutes in length. 

I asked it to try again and limit the podcast to about 4 minutes. The resulting episode was 04:10 in length. 

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM: 

1. The podcast is a conversation between a male and a female. 

2. The biggest problem: It is like a chit-chat between 2 people, who chatted around the topic. They did not specifically mention the main concepts involved.

3. So, it serves the purpose of leisure listening, but can't be used for flipped learning. 

4. The result is very much unlike the video podcast, which is much more straightforward in presenting the main ideas.
